Welcome to the new Campervan Chef blog! This started out life as a blog called 'Kylie's Kitchen' and ran out of steam some time ago. Since then life has changed and Kylie's Kitchen as it stood is no more. I started out as an an enthusiastic home cook but now work as a chef and cook for others in all sorts of situations. You'll find out more about this side of me if you keep tabs on my scribbles on here. I blog about food and cooking, life, family, friends and pets. I will also be keeping you up to date with our travels to our second home; the beautiful Greek island of Skiathos and the dog shelter we support there. Join us as our journey through life continues...

Ham, egg and chips

Specially requested by The Woo this evening as another way to dig into the egg glut.  It's amazing how, with just three chickens, the egg mountain can run away with itself.

Bulk standard ham to use up out of the fridge, a couple of the girls' donations each and a pile of homemade, thick cut chips.

How do you do your chips?  I always deep fry them twice.  Once on a really low simmer in vegetable oil until they are almost cooked through but with no colour at all.  Then I whack the heat up and get the oil in the wok (I always do mine in a wok but have been promised a proper fryer!) good and hot before finishing them off until lovely and brown and crispy.

Turned out onto kitchen roll in a colander, sprinkled and shaken with sea salt so it can stick to any undrained oil and then dredged with malt vinegar before heading plate wards.  Yum!
